Episode 11 – Night of the Prophets (4)
A red aura appeared around the teorite and glowing lights shot all over the platform.
“Ohh! Finally!”
A prophet scread.
Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung quickly approached .
“Run away? What...”
It was too late. The red aura spread across the platform and a faint veil surrounded the station. Now none of the prophets would be able to leave Anguk Station.
[The constellations protest against the excessive filtering.]
[Many constellations’ eyes are shining at the ‘on.’]
[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is watching the situation with curious eyes.]
[The constellation ‘Secretive Plotter’ is expecting your brilliant strategy.]
The constellations were excited and sent indirect ssages.
The most dangerous situation in the world of Ways of Survival was one where the constellations were partying.
I asked the nervous Jung Minseob, “Was No. 1124 the one who suggested that you gather here today?”
“Huh? I don’t know. We all agreed together...”
I felt clogged up, like soone had fed ten sweet potatoes. I couldn’t believe things had gone this far.
–Everybody move behind .
I paid attention the teorite while protecting them.
–Aren’t we running away?
–We can’t go.If you look behind, you can see a ward.
–Huh?What ward?
I didn’t answer as I stared at the teorite in the centre of the platform.
[teorite] was the main event in the fifth scenario. The danger sleeping inside the teorite would differ depending on the colour, brightness, size and type. However, the teorite I was looking at now was one that should never hatch.
They seed confused because the teorite that gave the star relic in the third regression was ‘bright red’...
“I wonder what star relic will appear?”
“That...”
So prophets hadn’t noticed yet and touched the teorite.
[An on of the fifth main scenario has appeared.]
Then the ssage popped up.
“Eh? What is this?”
“Why suddenly the main scenario...”
The surface of the teorite cracked and a red light poured out. The first thing the light touched was the prophet staring at the teorite with wonder.
The body of the prophet who lost his head slowly fell to the ground like a broken doll.
“What is going on?!”
The prophets scread and retreated, but they were already unable to escape the crisis.
I took the party with as I retreated to the edge and observed the situation. I rembered seeing this type of teorite in Ways of Survival but it was tricky to know what would co out.
Please, don’t let it be that ‘disaster.’ The teorite cracked and red lava poured out.
The surrounding platform burned and released a bad sll. Then the temperature of the air rose rapidly and breathing beca painful.
The surrounding environnt was changing. This... a lava zone? It ant...
[The 5th grade fire dragon species, ‘Lesser Dragon Igneel’ has appeared!]
“Fuck! What? The star relic...?”
Several confused prophets belatedly used skills. However, the teorite stretched out a long tail and caught a few escaping prophets.
“Kuaaack!”
The body of the prophet that caught by the tail suddenly burned up. So prophets used skills to attack the tail but their weapons started to lt.
“T-This monster...”
The teorite was at most two tres in length, but the monster crawling out from the gap was over five tres long.
Jung Heewon asked.
–What the hell is this?
–It is a disaster.
–Disaster?
The remainder of the teorite split apart and a dragon species entered this dinsion.
Kuoooooh!
A violent dragon that was just born. Despite being a deteriorated version of a hatchling, a dragon still reigned at the apex of all monsters.
A 6th grade monster could wipe out all the prophets here and this was a 5th grade fire dragon.
“Yoo Jonghyuk-nim!”
So of the prophets called out to and all attention was still focused this way.
I frowned. The incident was caused by them yet they wanted to solve it?
“Get back to the edges.”
Like an obedient puppy, everyone moved to a corner of the platform. The guys who were quick were already running upstairs from the platform. But.
“Shit, there’s a ward!”
The lesser dragon was a ‘disaster.’ In a situation where a disaster appeared, the size of the despair was different. At least, this was the pattern I knew.
Among Yoo Jonghyuk’s nurous regressions, he had definitely faced this guy.
I looked at the party mbers.
–A hidden scenario will soon start.
–Hidden scenario?
–This is a guy who shouldn’t have co out in the fourth scenario.It has an unusual difficulty so there will soon be an intervention.
In order to respond to this disaster, various benefits were needed in the fifth scenario. For example, if the blue teorite ca out...
But now we had nothing. Yes, sothing had to be given to balance us.
[So constellations are complaining about the unusual scenario difficulty.]
Indeed. The next mont, sparks flew in the air and a small child-like presence appearance.
It wasn’t a low grade dokkaebi like Bihyung. He wore a tidy suit with two little horns on his head. He was an impressive guy with a small lump protruding from his side pocket.
I didn’t know his na but I knew what he was. He was an interdiate dokkaebi.
[Hrmm. This is difficult. How did you guys get this ‘root’? It was only installed recently...]
Once his voice rang out, the movents of the lesser dragon stopped. Indeed, it was possible for an interdiate dokkaebi to intervene in the scenario to this level.
[A disaster woke up in the fourth scenario?]
The ergence of an interdiate dokkaebi ant that the ‘early scenarios’ had almost co to an end.
As long as he took notice of this place, I would barely be able to see the contract benefits with Bihyung.
[So constellations are poisonous so I can’t spare you... it is also hard to downgrade the difficulty...]
His gaze focused on .
“But this isn’t right! We haven’t cleared the fourth scenario!” One prophet shouted.
I could see the prophets around him quickly covering his mouth. There was nothing good about yelling at a dokkaebi right now.
[I have decided. I won’t downgrade the difficulty.]
The prophets glared at the dokkaebi. There was only the sound of breathing. They had read Ways of Survival so they would know.
The dokkaebi couldn’t overturn the laws. But they also knew this.
[Still... it won’t be interesting if you all die this way. I will use my discretion to change the scenario content.]
The dokkaebi was more talkative than I thought.
[The hidden scenario has arrived!]
The lesser dragon started moving again. The red leather-covered paws hit the floor of the platform. I avoided the scattered debris and looked at the scenario that arrived.
[Hidden Scenario – United You Die, Scattered You Die]
Category: Hidden
Difficulty: A
Clear Conditions: Within the ti limit, hunt down the ‘lesser dragon Igneel’ or survive his attacks.
Ti Limit: 20 minutes.
Compensation: 3,000 coins
Failure: Death
Hidden pieces are hidden in this mission.
A 20 minute survival mission. From the title to the contents, it was ridiculous.
Lee Hyunsung asked.
–Do we have to hunt him?
–No, don’t even dream about it.
This disaster is a disaster for a reason. Even the real Yoo Jonghyuk couldn’t catch a 5th grade fire dragon. I looked at the situation on the platform. Flowing flas started pouring out.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa!
“Kuaaack!”
The prophets caught in the flas turned to ashes. The walls burned by the flas lted and distorted terribly. He was slowly moving to this side.
“Everyone run counterclockwise!”
I opened my mouth and ran ahead of the rotation direction.
Fortunately, Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung followed well. Jung Minseob and Lee Sungkook were a bit behind but they still seed okay.
This ti, we avoided it because I knew the pattern. The problem was that this type of attack wouldn’t always occur.
[The 5th grade fire dragon species, ‘Lesser Dragon Igneel’ is preparing the ‘Flas of Destruction’.]
...It had started. We sohow avoided the general attack but the crisis ca now.
“Look for a foothold.”
“Yes?”
“Number 5... or 2 and 3! Anyway, just quickly find sothing that adds up to 5!”
[A hidden piece is activated.]
[Nurical footholds are activated.]
[Once the appropriate number of people enters the foothold, ‘Absolute Shield’ can be activated in 10 seconds.]
[Absolute Shield won’t activate when the number on the foothold is exceeded.]
The prophets all heard this system ssage. At the sa ti, footholds the size of two pyeong appeared all over the station.
“Footholds? Ah, right!”
“There is a hidden piece!”
I looked at the moving prophets and bit my lips. The giggling constellations reflected in my eyes. Why did many constellations protest against the difficulty of the scenario?
It was simple. There was no fun in a story with ‘only death.’ They didn’t want ants being trampled by a giant. These guys wanted the ants to fight back to survive. In order to live, the ants would even bit at their kin.
[Many constellations are watching the situation with excited eyes.]
Damn constellation scum.
“Shit, go!”
“Kuheeok!”
The prophets, who had called each other’s numbers in a friendly manner, now wielded their weapons against each other to fight over the footholds with the number ‘1.’ So prophets collapsed bleeding as they approached a foothold.
The swift prophets were already stepping on the footholds, strengthening their alertness.
I kept an eye on them. Soone had clearly planned this trap. Maybe they were the apostles.
They knew the prophets would gather her and decided to use this opportunity to wipe out those who stopped reading early.
It was a good idea. No matter how trivial the information, the fewer who knew the future, the better.
Usually, the apostles would be laughing at the prophets from far away. If they were ‘ordinary’ people.
Those who read more than 50 chapters of a boring novel weren’t normal. They called themselves apostles and were greedy enough to control information.
‘If they were intelligent enough to use the red teor as a trap, wouldn’t they know how to overco the disaster?
If I was like this...
–Representative-nim!There is no foothold.
–There is nothing here!
Jung Heewon and Jung Minseob cried out urgently. There were no footholds in the place where out party was located.
–Oh, there is one here!But...
The foothold that was barely found had an ominous number. Four. In other words, only four people could survive on that foothold. But our party had five people.
[The 5th grade fire dragon species, ‘Lesser Dragon Igneel’ is using the ‘Flas of Destruction’.]
A huge spark started from the centre of the platform and started to spread throughout the station.
It was a lesser dragon’s full attack skill. The heat was enough to burn my skin despite being so far away. If the shield wasn’t activated now, my party would be destroyed.
“R-Representative-nim?”
Lee Sungkook and Jung Minseob trembled as they t my gaze. I grasped the handle of Unbroken Faith.
At that mont.
“Yoo Jonghyuk-nim!”
I looked back and saw one prophet. The number ‘2’ was written on his foothold. Despite the urgent situation, this man still looked relaxed.
“Co this way!”
This guy...? A few mories passed by quickly. I ran towards him while shouting at the people behind him.
“Activate the shield!”
[Absolute Shield is activated!]
Kuoooooh!
Then the flas burned everything on the platform. If it had touched just a little bit then I would’ve lted.
“Sigh... I’m glad.”
The man who triggered the shield at breathtaking timing sighed with relief. I asked him, “Who are you?”
The man laughed lightly. “I’m disappointed. Have you already forgotten? I am No. 1168. About Asmodeus...”
I rembered. He was the one who spoke to about Demon King Asmodeus.
“That isn’t my question.”
The eyes of No. 1168 shook.
I hadn’t thought about it before.
The scene of the confrontation between Demon King Asmodeus and Yoo Jonghyuk. To be precise, the second regression Yoo Jonghyuk was one-sidedly beaten by the demon king.
It was a scene I rembered because I really liked it. However... this recollection didn’t appear before chapter 50. I could say it with certainty as the full reader of Ways of Survival.
I pulled out my blade and opened my mouth.
“I will ask you again. Who are you?”
[Due to the effect of your exclusive attribute, the mory effect of so scenes have increased.]
The story of Demon King Asmodeus appeared exactly in chapter 57 of Ways of Survival.
A crack started to spread in this man’s relaxed expression.
